The Environmental Impact Report for this project allows for floor area transfers (see other footnotes below) and for the floor area in Subarea 1 to be exceeded by up to 30% from the base area of 1,570,000 , and by 15% for Subarea 3 from the base area of 3,160,000 square feet. Therefore, the columns and rows on the table are not vertically or horizontally additive Because this Specific Plan limits total combined floor area in all Subareas to 5,020,140 sf, any floor area increases in one Subarea

over the base area must be offset by floor area decreases in the base area of another Subarea. b Academic / University uses in Subarea 1 may be provided up to a maximum of 1,740,140 sf; note that this figure appears smaller than the maximum after floor area transfers analyzed in the Draft EIR (1,950,000 sf). This is due to a total of 209,860 sf of Academic / University infill projects in Subarea 1 that were previously approved through Site Plan Review Case Nos. DIR-2011-1105-SPR and DIR-2011-1918-SPR c Academic uses in Subarea 3 may be provided in excess of 575,000 square feet up to a maximum of 1,175,000 square feet, provided that the floor area of the student housing is reduced by one square foot for each square foot of academic/university serving uses in excess of 500,000 square feet. In no event shall the total square footage for Subarea 3 exceed a combined maximum total of 3,500,000 square feet. d Notwithstanding Floor Area limits specified in Table 1 for Retail/Shopping

Center, restaurant, supermarket, and movie theater uses located in Subarea 3, adjustments may be made to the Floor Area of such uses as long as the resulting Trip Generation is within trip limits and in accordance with the Trip Equivalency Table as identified in the Environmental Impact Report. e f The minimum square footage for the Supermarket use shall be 25,000 square feet. Movie theater uses may include up to 2,000 movie theater seats. g Pursuant to the Development Agreement associated with this Specific Plan, the first phase of development within Subarea 3 shall yield a minimum total of 4,162 student beds (1,162 existing student beds that may be either retained or replaced on the site with new beds, in addition to 3,000 newly constructed student beds). 12 Source: http://www.doksinet h The maximum permitted Floor Area within the Specific Plan in its totality is 5,020,140 square feet and the maximum number of student beds shall be 5,400 and neither maximum shall be

exceeded, regardless of the maximum square footages or student beds allowed within individual Subareas. i No more than 300,000 square feet of structures existing as of the date of adoption of this Specific Plan, within Subarea 1, may be demolished, in conformance with limitations established in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). j Existing MR1 and M2 uses shall be deemed as allowed by right in Subarea 2 k Future development in Subarea 3 may include an Academic Tower and/or a Residential Tower. The Academic Tower shall not exceed the Allowable Floor Area for "Academic / University" uses on this table. The Residential Tower shall not cause an exceedance of the maximum permitted amount of student beds or student housing floor area for “Housing” uses on this table. The Towers, either individually or together, shall not cause an exceedance of the total Allowable New Floor Area allowed for Subarea 3. E. Replacement of Existing Buildings in the Specific Plan area.

The Floor Area of Buildings located within Subareas 1, 2 and 3 and lawfully existing as of the effective date of this Specific Plan may be replaced in new buildings within the confines of the existing square footage thresholds and shall not count against the Floor Area limits in Table 1. In the event that a new building contains more floor area than the building it is replacing, then the incremental additional floor area shall be subject to and count toward the Floor Area limits specified in Table 1 and accounted for in the Summary Sheet from Subsection D above. In the event that a new building is replacing a building with a use different from the prior use as defined in Table 1, or in the event that existing square footage within an existing building is proposed for a change of use as defined in Table1, then the new use shall be subject to and count toward the Floor Area limits contained in Table 1 and accounted for in the Summary Sheet from Subsection D above. The Floor Area limits

in Table 1 shall not include the area of any existing building or buildings replaced pursuant to this Subsection. Any replacement Project shall be reviewed subject to the provisions contained in Section 5 of this Specific Plan. F. Permitted Uses. The following uses shall be permitted within the Specific Plan: 1. Subarea 1a: The use regulations of the R4 Zone, as specified in LAMC Section 12.11 shall apply to all lots in Subarea 1a 2.

development within the Specific Plan, including improvements made to public rights of way within the Specific Plan area, as shown on Map 1, and shall be used in the crafting, updating, or amending of any Urban Design Guidelines (Appendix A) and Jefferson Boulevard Concept Streetscape Plan (Appendix B) of this Specific Plan: 1. Enhance urban cohesion by providing a mix of uses that embrace the community by emphasizing Jefferson Boulevard as a complete street that weaves together the public realm and academic space as a place for people. 2. Promote diverse architectural character by avoiding bland, uniform development through design that is context-sensitive, embraces architectural diversity, and integrates university buildings into the surrounding neighborhood. 3. Ensure sensitive urban form by creating a vibrant community center that activates key pedestrian and vehicular corridors, encourages a safe environment, and maintains an urban character that is sensitive to nearby

residential areas. 4. Promote outward building orientation by ensuring that campus buildings relate to perimeter streets, establishing new connections to the community where the USC Campus fronts on key corridors. 5. Emphasize human scale by framing public space with appropriately scaled buildings and articulated architectural blocks that connect academic gathering spaces to public spaces, including public rights-ofway. 6. Maximize connectivity and improve circulation for area residents, students, employees and visitors by emphasizing multi-modal uses that take full advantage of the proximity of the USC Campus to the Exposition Metro Rail Line while reinforcing linkages to nearby destinations.
